THE HISTORY OF DAVID TERRY
by Charles R. Terry, a Son Clarkson, Canada, December 6, 195O
. The following is a history of the life of my father as told to me by others:
David Terry was born in the town of Palmyra, state of New York on April 17, 1817. He started life as a child the hard way, having to chop wood when it kept him busy all day to keep the stove going. His education consisted of 2 weeks at schoo . As a lad he was taught to work & be­ came an expert with the axe, so much so that he used to put up his 4 cords of steam boat wood a day on the banks of the Mississippi River, I have heard that when a young man he had been in every state in the Union. He came with his parents and family to Canada; settling in the township of Albion, at a village called Caladon East, where they estab­lished a gristmill and where (I presume) David learned the milling business. As well as a mill, the family had a store and hotel. His sister Elizabeth married a man who kept a tavern. He died & David tended bar for his sister for a year thereafter. He grew up to be quite a swell & used to wear a stovepipe hat & straps under his instep to keep his trousers down straight. - - -
